This community will greatly miss Mr. and Mrs. Reed, loth of w hoiu are very well informed, ami have exerted a 6trong influence for good among their associates. Thk Jouknal expresses sincere regret, but the move lieing made for the benefit of Mr. Reed's health, holies that it may be well with them in their new home, whither the hearty good wishes of all their many friends hero will follow them. "The utter disregard with which the Columbus business men have treated the fair is the foundation for this statement," viz: "that no doubt the business men of Columbus have a well grounded preju dice against the successive failures of the Columbus Driving Park Associa tion." So saj-s the last Argus. The truth is that the businessmen of Colum bus have no prejudice against thesocietj'. against its failures or successes, and they have not treated the fair with "utter disregard."' Your successive crops of failures bj- trying to work the field of prehutice against Columbus, will more than offset jour doubtful successes in that line, and the rope j"ou have yourself twisted is the one that you have tight ened around vour own neck. Representative Stevens of Platte county introduced a bill known as House Roll No. 131. to amend the present law on removal of county seats, which came up for dsscnesion Tuesday of last week. It was def ated by a vole of 36 to 3o. In the sen e. a motion to indefinitely postpone was carried. Representatives Schelp and Stevens of this county fa vored the measure, and Senator Van Houeen opposed it. We are informed that Platte Center had a number of men at Lincoln to lobby the bi!' through the legislature. It looks s c , though Platte Center had had her way alto gether in this matter, so far at least as the nomination of representative candi dates favorable to the scheme is con cerned, and the urging of it upon the legislature. This was not the first at tempt, and may not be the last. If more prejudice against Columbus can be fos tered in the coming two j-ears, the next legislature may be importuned.

Arretted fr F.irjjry. Just as we were closing our columns yesterday, word came of the arrest or a man who registered at the Thurston Mondaj' as C. H.

Early, respective of tho Columbus State bank and First National, as the man who offered Jan. 28, 1890, a check on the Columbus State bank with the forged name of W. T. Rickly and for the sum of 041) and some cents. While Sheriff Caldwell (who had him under arrest with him at the telephone ex change), was communicating with Oma ha, Cook gave him the slip, and ran across the street dodging into Boett- cher's store on Eleventh, but he was caught, and was to have had his hearing some time dnring the daj". He is tall, black mustache, some gray hairs, well dressed and is said to be a "sport." Last week we barelj" had space to mention the death of John Slaven, the hermit residing between this and Platte Center. His neighbors, not seeing any smoke issuing from hischimnej' for some days, thought it best to see what was the matter. The verdict of coroner Heintz's jury (Steve Waggoner, H. Fobes. E. L. Ives anil Chas. Waggoner), was that he died a natural death while asleep. It is supposed he bad been dead several days. His old horse was verj" thirstj" and had tat everj"thing within reach. Slavm was about fifty years old. lived by himself, hoarded the grain and hay that he had raised on his eighty acres for the past seven years, and much of it was spoiled, not being sheltered.

A Kriet" Oiitinz. We had-occasion to go to Lincoln. last Thursday on business. The capitol city is keeping up its reputation as a grow ing center of population. Just at present, evidently, all lines of business are quiet, even the bi-ennial assembly of Nebras ka's law makers does not, these days, make much of astir- their most exciting hours seeming to have been the first ones. Among the Platte county men at the capitol, we met ex-representative Swarts lej", who has an important iHjsition in the house. Mr. Sutton of Monroe, was in the building, but we didn't learn what iosition he has. Mr. Sandilands of Booue. had a familiar look as he stood in the door of the senate jiost office. A talk with Senator Van llousen devel oped the fact that on the question of county seat removal bills, at least, ho is his own judge or what his constituents expect of him. ' We lielieve that the sen ator is a conscientious, independent official and will do what he thinks is right. Representative Stevens was busy with committee work, and Mr. Shelp we didn't have a talk with. J. M. Macfarland, formerly of the citj", was an interested looker on from the lobby of the senato during ho discus sion of a bill intended to lighten tho lalNirs of the judges of the supreme court, and help them clear tho docket. Mr. Edgerton of South Omaha, candi date hist fall for attorney general on the independent ticket, was also a listener to a portion of tho debate. "Col." Wheat, the Knights of Lalwr lecturer, is a very conspicuous figure in and out. among the legislators, and is doubtless one of the advisory committee. B. It. Cowderj", deputy seeretarj" of state has apparently not lost any of his avoirdupois, and is as genial as ever, in fact one of the most accommodating of flicials the capitol. Ex-state treasurer, and ex-representative J. C. McBride, formerly of Schuyler, now of Lincoln, seems to le more or less interested in legislative matters. While the house has passed the maxi mum freight bill, which, bj" the inde pendents is regarded as the best meas ure before the legislature, it is consid ered doubtful of adoption bj' the senate. A man who, in confidence, said that he was inside the lines on information, declared that Boyd will not lie governor because he was not a citizen of the Uni ted States on the day fixed for taking' office that the evidence was clear, un doubted and unanswerable. In the lan guage of an ardent democrat, "what a huge joke on the democracy" of Nebras ka one governor in a lifetime, takes his doubtful seat, but declares to his party friends and workers that when the proper time comes, he will show his citi.eiibhip all right, and then be walked out!!" In the citj' we met two j'ouug men, sons of Harvej" Eagleson and Thompson Craig, (old friends of Harrison count J', Ohio), now as big as their fathers were thirtj years ago. Thej" are in attend ance" at the state universitj. and are making steadj strides up the hill of science. R. It. Sutherland, at the U. P. depot, had a half hour to devote to inquiry concerning Columbus affairs and his many acquaintances here, and. bj' the waj', remarked that our agent here, Col. J. It. Meagher, is one or the best men in the employ of the companj", almost the exact words that the Colonel had used in speaking of Sutherland. There was very little snow on the ground at Lincoln, not more than fell hete in a half hour Fridaj', but twenty miles north, it was nearlj as deep as here. As to legislation, a uun.lier of inde pendents who had ardent faith in mov ing the world at once, and keeping it in motion, are coiisiderablj' discouraged at the outlook, but still are not inclined to to lose heart altogether. On the way to Lincoln, Sheriff Crites of Merrick county, and an assistant had in charge J. F. Griswold, whom they were taking peaceably to the asylum, under the fiction that lie was to plead his own case hefore the supreme court. The sheriff said that domestic and financial troubles had weakened his mental force. Truly, one had better be dead than in curably insane. It is considerable of a gratification, however, to know that we live in times that are so full of benefi cent intent toward the unfortunate in mind and body, one of tho direct results of the gospel of tho "paternity of t !od and the fraternity of nihil." The la-igli Tragedy. Some few facts are to 1m added to the account given in last week's Joui:nal to iiinko tho history of the terrible tragedy complete. Frank Yob, tho hired man was about twentj--two years old, his par ents residing in Santa Rosa, Cal., for merly living at North Bend, so says the Schuyler Quill. The husband was a man of good habits, highly respected by all who knew him and verj' fond of his wife and family. The wife was a woman of thirty years, good looking, ami had no doubt been guilty of criminal relations with Yob. Several months ago the hus band discharged Yob because he sus pected him and his wife of improper ac tions, but was compelled to keep him or his wife would go. too. It is said that at tho time of the murder nn elopement was planned. The deed of McCubbinB was premeditated. McCubbins was a good man, but the actions of his wife had driven him to desperation. He brooded over his sorrow till he was in sane upon the subject. He had acted strangelj" the week preceding the trng edj'. He made his will: he notified his mother, Mrs. Ir'uie Garris. of Indiana, saying that on Fridaj' he expected to commit an awful deed. This notice she received ou that day. She knew at once the cause, for the wife's conduct was an old storv. snovkhis couVtj- whchVlius iBt a great )ttuALfarmer avay fwm (jSuW NlaVs IogetBWypec(ujobjJFpnces, gitnngou atta cSjnce yet topnein and chenpBargaina( IBrt jStet.wsApay thehiMest Pic fBltftteV Z1"' 'k's wlich IrMhs KiimXaKeh toVs.

Cat and mouse weather, this. It makes a fellow lean up to the stove like a sick kitten to a hot brick. W. T. Ernst's children have leen quite sick but are reported letter at this writing. Chris Jossia, who has been in the em ploj' of J. II. Reed V Son for the past year, has rented a part of Fred. Stenger's farm. Mr. Stenger will build him a house nnd furnish farming utensils, etc. The land joins A. C. Pickett on the west. Mrs. J. II. Reed and Miss Bertha Dun lap expect to start March 3d via the B. .V M. R. It. for their future home at Riv erside. Calif. Cyclops has known them for a number of years, and will miss them sadlj". He wishes them a safe journey and abundant success in their new home. Owing to the severe weather last Weduesdaj' eveniug the scholars or the Reed school considered it unsafe to ven ture home. They were kindly taken care of by the nearest neighbors. Tho Platte Farmers' Club which met at It. S. Dickinson's last Fridaj' was not up to the usual size of meetings. A. C. Pickett and wife attended the special meeting of the C. L. S. C. which was held nt the residence of M. Brugger in tho citj'. Thej- also spent the night with Mr. B. and family, returning home tho next daj". Mr. Tom Reagan, in companj" with his mother and sisters Bridget and Mary, spent Sunday with James and Mrs. Russell. Bonnie Brodfuehror of your citj" spent Sunday among the young folks of this neighborhood. Those who have lob 6leds find them verj" convenient in hauling large loads of any kind. We notice Otis Clark hauls a good big box full of corn into the citj' with the greatest of ease with one team and bobs. We understand that Marcus, sou of our neighltor P. S. Griffin, is coming to be quite an artist. The engraving that he is at work on now is a midnight scene in this neighltorhood not long since. Those that have seen the work pronounce it perfection. Tlleonly thing that puzzles Marcus now is the color of Mrs. H. B. ltoed's three cats. Johnnie Megill and familj', who re cently moved to the citj', spent Satur day night, Sunday and Sunday night visiting relatives and friends in this part of the little world. There seems to be considerable confu sion among the different scribes of the communitj', even to the editor or the Columbus Telegram, in regard to an item of verj' great interest that Cyclops recently wrote about a joung man and his wagon tongue. Now we feel very (that don't express it, we'll say terribly i sorrj' for the young man. But words can nol express the sorrow we have for those that can't read an item with a little degree of clearness. Cyclops. -litriiat 44 ami Vicinity. We believe it would be wisdom on the part of the farmer who has no shoes on his horses' feet, during the present slip perj condition of the roads, to keep his horse in the stable until the ice softens; many a noble beast without sharp shoes has broken his limbs by being driven ou the roads wlieii there was less ice than there is now. If horses must go on the roads, thej- should lie shod. Last Thursday morning, when mer ciirj' was below zero, we saw (ltd. John Huber sud Dan Schram in a sleigh driv ing east, the former probablj going to crj' some farm sale, and the latter to bank the same. Dr. Willy of your city passed the school house Friday morning during the snow storm, on his way to see a patient on Shell Creek; when we saw him last, he was wrestling with a huge snow drift; the little doctor's pluck is too much for anj blizzard that attempts to come lie tween him and one of his patients. We saw Tom L. Reagan going into tho city Thursday. There is no doubt Tom ha turned over a new leaf and will commence ou a clear page. Mrs. 11. L. Drinnen had her fat tur keys slaughtered Thursday and shipped to Omaha that night; they were nicely dressed ami looked good enough to eat. Joe Drinnen says he has divided his time during the last month in feeding his pigs and shoveling snow out of a cut through a drift in the road near his place; the drift is at the south end of a small grove and has been filling about every other daj". Mondaj' of last week, Mr. and Mrs. John Dishner, Sr., passed the school house for the citj-, iu a sleigh. Fred Luckej', Jr., says from thepres ent outlook it will be impossible to do any farming in this month, and he is go ing to make a prospecting trip to Okla homa, I. T., returning in time to put in his crops. Onr teacher returned Saturday from Platte Center; while away ho made sale of a quantity of hay that he bought near that place last fall, which gave him a very nice profit. T. H. Johnson, who has been aggra vated with rabbits gnawing his trees, set a Steel trap and succeeded in catchiug two Jack rabbits, one breaking the fast enings and getting away with tho trap. Toia 'is enjoj'ing a visit this week from his brother Arthur, from Kan sas, aud who is an old time railroader. If the large quantities of snow and ice that now cover the ground should go off with a warm rain there will certainly be loss of life and propertj" on the low lands, and every precaution should he taken to avert the danger. 11 nm jili ivy. 4 LFrom the Dvmiirrut.J E. T. Graham, the Creston miller, passed through here last Mondaj' en route for Newman Grove. Dr. Al Condon of Perrj', Iowa, came in last Fridaj" evening to visit his brother Win. Condon. Mrs. Tonj Fangman who has been verj" sick for the past week, we are in formed is improving rapidly. J. -W. Lynch, the popular banker of Platte Center, was doing business in town last Saturdaj'. Thirtj' cars of merchandise for the west end of the Elkhorn branch werj side-tracked at Corn lea during tl blockade. Miss Eva Brown, an old friend of Mrs. Wm. Hart, who has been spending the past year in Denver, Colo., vibited in Uumphrej this week. T. K. Ottis left last Tuesday for Red River,"" Dakota, ou business. He will visit Minnesota before bis return to Ne- l1 braskn. Last night as Jacob ltipp was turning out the lights in his saloon, the fasten ing v.hich supported a large electric luirner lamp that was suspended over his pool table gave away, letting the burning lamp down ou tho table. Mr. Ripp succeeded in getting the lamp onto the tloor when the oil on the- inside ignited and ran over the floor in a stream of fire, slightly scorching the wainscot ing and mop board on the west side of the room. After several fruitless efforts to put out the fire with water. Mr. ltipp took 'iff his overcoat and smothered the tiames. It was a verj" narrow escape from being a large conflagration, and if the fire had got beyond control, the whole row of business houses between the corner and Eiiners store would have gone up in smoke, and the supreme ef forts of all the people in tho town could not have saved it. Again we ask "does Humphrey need fire protection, or does she not?" And tho echo answers, "she does not." tl it stmt- Iten bv lability Hding i hisiajrmer w'hiiajjVave the sails of n army of Bj.-Gen.
